The BMMB Program is offering a grant to support fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology, focusing on multiscale mechanics approaches in the study of organisms. The grant aims to explore the relationships between mechanical behavior and extracellular matrix composition, as well as the impact of in vivo mechanical forces on tissue biology. Projects may involve theoretical, computational, and experimental methods, with an emphasis on viewing living tissues as self-designing smart materials. Researchers are encouraged to investigate histomorphogenesis, tissue maintenance, regeneration, and aging dynamics. Application deadline not provided.

| Description:: | The BMMB Program supports fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology. An emphasis is placed on multiscale mechanics approaches in the study of organisms that integrate across molecular, cell, tissue, and organ domains. The relationships between mechanical behavior and extracellular matrix composition and organization are of interest. In addition, the influence of in vivo mechanical forces on cell and matrix biology in the histomorphogenesis, maintenance, regeneration, and aging of tissues is an important concern. Funded projects may include theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches. The program encourages the consideration of diverse living tissues as smart materials that are self-designing. |
